Abstract

A glass sheet includes a first surface; a second surface facing the first surface; and at least one first edge surface disposed between the first surface and the second surface. A mean height We of a waviness profile element of the first edge surface and a mean length WSm of the waviness profile element satisfy Formula (1) below. W c ≦ 1 0.6  π 2  ( n g - 1 ) · WSm 2 ( 1 ) where n g represents a refractive index of the glass sheet.

Claims (67)

where n g represents a refractive index of the glass sheet.

2 . A glass sheet comprising:

a first surface;

a second surface facing the first surface; and

at least one first edge surface disposed between the first surface and the second surface,

wherein representing a periodic structure of the first edge surface by a power spectrum distribution, a shape of the power spectrum has a maximum peak position S p less than 1 mm −1 within a range of a spatial frequency being 0.01 to 10 mm −1 .

3 . The glass sheet as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the shape of the power spectrum has a ratio I s /I p of a maximum peak intensity I s within a range of the spatial frequency being 1 to 10 mm −1 , to a peak intensity I p at the maximum peak position S p , being 50% or less.

4 . The glass sheet as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an arithmetic mean waviness Wa of the waviness profile of the first edge surface is 0.2 μm or less.

5 . The glass sheet as claimed in claim 2 , wherein an arithmetic mean waviness Wa of the waviness profile of the first edge surface is 0.2 μm or less.

6 . The glass sheet as claimed in claim 3 , wherein an arithmetic mean waviness Wa of the waviness profile of the first edge surface is 0.2 μm or less.

7 . The glass sheet as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an average internal transmittance of a 50-mm length for wavelengths of 400-700 nm is 90% or greater.

8 . The glass sheet as claimed in claim 2 , wherein an average internal transmittance of a 50-mm length for wavelengths of 400-700 nm is 90% or greater.

9 . The glass sheet as claimed in claim 3 , wherein an average internal transmittance of a 50-mm length for wavelengths of 400-700 nm is 90% or greater.

10 . The glass sheet as claimed in claim 4 , wherein an average internal transmittance of a 50-mm length for wavelengths of 400-700 nm is 90% or greater.

11 . The glass sheet as claimed in claim 5 , wherein an average internal transmittance of a 50-mm length for wavelengths of 400-700 nm is 90% or greater.

12 . The glass sheet as claimed in claim 6 , wherein an average internal transmittance of a 50-mm length for wavelengths of 400-700 nm is 90% or greater.

13 . A method for manufacturing a glass sheet, the method comprising:

a cutting process for forming a glass material, in which the glass material is cut to have a first surface, at least one second surface facing the first surface, at least one first edge surface and at least one second edge surface disposed between the first surface and the second surface,

wherein a mean height We of a waviness profile element of the first edge surface and a mean length WSm of the waviness profile element satisfy Formula (1) below.
